Oh my god I needed this laugh. This is all a rejected candidate emailed me in response to a form rejection email. I'm trying to decide if I respond earnestly or not.

14 years after graduation a white male Boomer who clearly thought the world of himself looked down his nose at me after reviewing my resume and asked, "What did you think you'd be doing with a *theatre* degree?" I told him I use it to smile when presented with unreasonable people

When I was in pre-k, my parents had to meet with the teacher because I blocked the teacher's aide from entering the restroom, telling her, "This is the GIRLS' room. You're a WOMAN."

It starts as kids with "perfect attendance awards." There was a kid in my elementary school who gave everyone head lice because his parents sent him to school anyway so he could keep his attendance record in tact. Same with the chicken pox kids. Smh
Question I wanna ask my boss: when employees with kids need to take time off for pediatrician appointments, do they get to use sick leave instead of annual leave? If so, why can't I do that for vet appointments?

While the plight of veterans IS important, this is not a game of "Whose Death Matters More." Celebrity deaths, sadly, are able to bring in more awareness to issues because they're so widely seen. Vets deserve help too, but saying we shouldn't mourn Bourdain is disrespectful.

Not quite the same maybe, but after my ex-husband and I broke up, the cat we'd had for 10 years got cancer and had to be put down. He asked if he could say goodbye, so I held up the procedure so he could come. He left before she died b/c it was "too real." I'll never forgive him.

This is huge!! People like my mom never really got to see people like her - hard of hearing/deaf - represented in media. (With few exceptions) I hope the show does well & inspires more of its kind on more platforms. 💕
I did some digging and it turns out letters from her acting coach, Natasha Lytess, were discovered which detailed the 7 years where she and Marilyn lived as “husband and wife” - yes, including sexually. They were so close that Marilyn would hold her hand while shooting close-ups!

This this this!! Like, a man gets married and all of a sudden his ability to do basic tasks to stay alive disappears? People married to straight men really aren't ok. (I know I wasn't when I was married to an equally useless one!)
@JortsTheCat
Does Jean not frolic? Is she more of a cat who appreciates others frolicking but prefers to keep to herself at parties? She's very mysterious!
This thread is something to think about. I don't often "feel thin," because I don't like the shape my body currently is, but I'm definitely thin, and I have a lot of privilege because of it.
Hey, you don’t have to “feel thin” to have thin privilege.
Thinness isn’t a feeling. If other people perceive you as thin, you are thin. If you are able to walk into any clothing store and expect to see a wide range of options in your size, you are thin.

I work in HR and rewrote our company's hiring procedure to ALWAYS include salary in the job description. Saves me time by not getting to the interview stage only for everyone to find out we're not paying what they want.

He rolled up in his "35 and my wife left me" black 2020 Camaro 30 minutes after I called him, stayed maybe 20 minutes while I sobbed, then left. The vet was floored but tried to hide it. I'd been sole caregiver. It hurt so gd badly. Sorry you went through the loss too 💕

If your "dream wedding" is disregarding your partner's feelings to trick your loved ones & friends into buying the shitty products your MLM makes then your partner has every right to take their idea of a dream wedding elsewhere. Mary Kay woman is out of her fucking mind. It's sad

I fuckin hate recruiters like that! I remember how hard it was to get any kind of notice about my application status, so I always try to send something, even though it's a form letter. I sign my name and email, and if you ask for feedback, even in meme form, I will give it to you
@totesmares
I reply to everyone who asks for feedback, unless they're being a jerk. (Because those people just wanna scream at someone, and I won't let it be me.) I remember what it was like job seeking and hearing crickets, so I try to be the recruiter I wish to see in the world. 🙂

Oh man tell me about it! Wish I could've passed her through to the hiring manager, but my hands are pretty tied in that regard. I wished her well though; whoever hired her will get a great employee most likely!

I've only been with men because when I first started questioning my sexuality in college (I was Catholic up until that point), all the lesbians I knew at my small school were crass about bisexuals, who they called "confused straight women," so I figured that's just what *I* was.

I failed Algebra 2 in HS b/c I missed a week w/flu. Even though I got a tutor went to the teacher for help during free periods/study hall/lunch I couldn't keep up b/c she taught a chapter every 2days & wouldn't reteach principles. She told my dad I was "stupid." I'd aced Algebra1

The snobbery around where people went to school is absurd. There are so many reasons people choose the college they attend; don't judge them for it! Glad you dodged that bullet.

I overcame a lot of adversity and exerted a saint's amount of patience, but I got my covid vaccine. CVS didn't even ask for my insurance info, just gave me one as a walk-in. Fuck Kaiser. Fuck Walgreens. CVS ftw!

This is the second time today I've seen someone On Here suggest that a woman who just wants to expose a man's bad behavior gets a snotty comment that she "wants a gofundme." Is this some new incel idea that doesn't reflect reality where women who want sympathy set up GFMs??
This week the little old postlady told us she’s retiring. Since she’s never known what my job is, I left her a card with one of my Haunted Housewives on it, thanking her for delivering the things that helped me make my crazy art. Yesterday, this was in the mail.
Miss you, Kathy.
@AnaMardoll
That'd be so helpful! I thought a guy was being a dick to a Twitter friend and I jumped in to defend my friend and ended up with my foot in my mouth when it turned out they were old, irl friends razzing on each other. 😳 I was mortified!

My HS tried this. The only girl who got in trouble was a Black girl who bleached a small blonde streak in her hair. After her parents threatened to sue (because all the white girls were bottle blondes & never got in trouble), the school changed the rule to "no rainbow colors."

It's probably not an intern but some jackhole who's bought into the "we won't make YOU, a white collar worker, pee into a bottle, so clearly NO ONE has to pee into bottles" company line. Some people will lick any boot for the right price
Men, read this. Absorb it. Put yourself in her shoes - would you like it if someone did this to you? Harassed you (even "politely"!) when you clearly just wanted to live your life? DON'T DO THIS. DON'T. FULL STOP. And if you see it happening, step in and check in with/the woman.

I GOT A JOB!!!! I start 1/6/20, I'm benefits eligible day one, & I'm making about the same I made at my last job. I cried, I was so relieved. And it's doing hiring, which is a part of HR I really like doing. 😃😃😃😃😃

This is a REALLY toxic workplace, & I'm sorry you feel guilt tripped. Do you have a "use it or lose it" policy? Because if not, hopefully you live in a PTO payout state, and you can take them to the cleaners with all the PTO they wouldn't let you use when you finally get to leave
I tweeted mean things about a contestant on Zumbo's Just Desserts. He was this mediocre white guy with an unwarranted superiority complex & got to the final 3 despite not winning a single challenge. Zumbo himself liked every bitchy tweet. 😂
